[chimerax-users] Converting Chimera movie script

The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        Linux-5.3.0-61-generic-x86_64-with-debian-buster-sid
ChimeraX Version: 1.0 (2020-06-04 23:15:07 UTC)
Description
Hello!

I have tried to adapt the cliping script from 
http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/data/movie-howto-mar2012/scripts/clip.cmd
to work in ChimeraX (because my structure is too big, to be loaded properly in earlier Chimera)
I tried to convert the old commands to the ChimeraX, but I get an error in the line  "clip front -0.5 120": Expected a keyword
Please advise me how to change the code to work with ChimeraX to create a movie 
or to simply save a series of images of cliped planes

Best regards,
Vid Sustar
